Yeah, I got halfway through the second part of the fight but eventually lost the battle of attrition.

There would basically be 3 difficulty options: Difficulty 3: Vexxar level difficulty with max boosted rewards Difficulty 2: Lost Grove level difficulty with boosted rewards Difficulty 1: Pre-Lost Grove difficulty with default rewards Players would have the option to set the difficulty when entering / spawning the zone. If they want to change the difficulty, they'd have to exit the zone and switch it.

Really hope this is implemented soon. I am level 75 but I don't have my pet skills ranked, or better armor. I still can't beat LG Caves to get to the Temple. It hardly seems fair to have to fight vexxar difficulty.

I hit level 75 before I had even unlocked the caves, and it still took me a while to do so. Understandably that's a skill issue but no one should have to have perfect knowledge of game mechanics to progress at all.

Just a suggestion for the new difficulties being created. People were talking in chat and it looks like the first time you beat the horseman you get a pet. We were hoping that for the Vexxar level it could be a zombie or halloween 2vis, for LG level it could be a 1vis version of those, and maybe for pre-LG level a random zone pet? Could be 2 carry or 1vis but then even for lower levels you would get a pet for your first defeat of him.

I know you're probably already thinking of ways for how the rest of the reward pool will go so I'm not really gonna comment on that until it's put in place. Thanks so much Krin for doing this for us who aren't so far down the line in the story and aren't powerful or knowledgeable enough for fighting the harder bosses. We always appreciate it. ^-^

Is there any chance for the event to be more frequent? During summer we had 4 eclipses most days, yet even after a board day we still only had 2 Pumpkin events. It's a bit rough to catch any event like this, probably just due to my timezone I guess but I still feel like it should be easier to spawn ;w;

Hey Krin, I fiinally didn't miss one of the events for the Zombified and I was confused by when the pets could be found as this was posted above. Could you please clarify which stages they are to be found? Especially since there doesn't seem to be a Stage 4?

So when the event actually begins (which is Stage 2+), Zombified Themed Pets can be encountered in place of regular Themed Pets outside of the 3 Portal Areas.

During Stage 2, Zombified Themed Pets can be found inside of the 3 Portal Areas. The specific Portal Area you are in will have increased chances as its progress increases, up to 100%. If all 3 Portal Areas hit 100%, all 3 Portal Areas get an additional 300% chance boost.

Halloween Themed Pets have a static chance of dropping off of the Headless Horseman.

Hope that helps.

So there is no stage 4? I think I get the Stage 2 dynamics and hopefully, I will be able to participate in more events soon!

No. I mistyped. It's because, on the back end, there technically are 4 stages lol. Stage 2 is the 10 minute countdown timer. But on the frontend, there's just the 3 stages. So I confused the two when I made that post.

Thanks, Krin for taking the time to explain it to my old brain! :)

The Orb of Champions in Umbra's Veil is now active! The Orb of Champions is located at the entrance of the zone. Players can interact with it to set their enemy difficulty within the zone.



Setting your Challenge Tier will affect Named and Event Enemies within the zone. The higher your Challenge Tier, the more chances/better chances you have at rewards that drop from affected enemies. Additionally, it increases the odds of encountering Zombified Themed Pets within Portal Areas during the event.

This is an entirely brand new system. It's very possible there's some bugs or balancing issues and I'm sure the system will evolve over time. If you encounter any issues, please let me know and I'll take a look. Thank you to everyone's patience while this system was worked on. It will be applied to all future Festival Zones.
